As an actor, you can see Todd in horror films like “Goth” and Umberto Lenzi’s “Hitcher in the Dark.” As a former comedian, you may have caught Todd perform with the comedy trio Open Season at The Improv, The Comic Strip, The Comedy Store or any number of clubs and colleges in North America. As a creator and author of graphic novels, you can read the Rondo Award-winning “The Black Forest,” “The Black Forest 2: The Castle of Shadows” and “The Wicked West” (Scoop’s #1 Best Graphic Novel of 2004). As a film director, you can watch his supernatural comedy “So, You’ve Downloaded A Demon,” which had its world premiere at Cannes in 2004! And as a lover of fried chicken, you can see Todd in places like Popeye’s and KFC. He lives in Los Angeles, where he is no doubt receiving a parking ticket at this very minute. In addition to co-writing THE LIVING AND THE DEAD, Robert Tinnell has directed such films as BELIEVE with Elisha Cuthbert and FRANKENSTEIN AND ME with Burt Reynolds. More recently, he penned the hit graphic novels THE BLACK FOREST and THE WICKED WEST as well as the screenplay BOBBY AT WORK, an adaptation of an Anthony Bourdain novel for producers Steve Golin of anonymouscontent and Ron Yerxa and Albert Berger of Bona Fide and director David (ASYLUM) Mackenzie. He is currently re-writing his screenplay, SACRIFICE, for Fortress Entertainment. Tinnell is repped by Jon Karas of Infinity Management International. THE LIVING AND THE DEAD marks the beginning of Micah Farritor's career as a professional artist. After years of drawing as merely an interest, then several years of formal education, a few awards, and fewer commissions, he decided to throw his lot in with authors Bob Tinnell and Todd Livingston and tell a tale of human destiny, fear, murder, and the price of battling fate. He could not have been less prepared.

That said, Micah has been delighted to do his part in entertaining and hopefully frightening horror readers everywhere. He is currently working with author Mark Ricketts on "Night Trippers", a graphic novel scheduled to come out in the summer of '06.

Micah lives in the flattest part of Illinois with his beautiful wife Jodi, where they both dream of mountains.
